any vaccine must be at least 50% effective, and we are going to need more than one. we simply don't know yet how much protection these other vaccines could give or how long any protection will last. the wait for life to return for —— to some semblance of normality continues, but we are edging ever closer to that goal. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. not too bad today with more sunshine than yesterday and some nice sunsets up than yesterday and some nice sunsets up and down the country between the clouds. as we head through tonight it turns wet and windy across the north and west of the uk and northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland but elsewhere it should remain largely dry and fairly mild. the new area of low pressure will put in from the west and you will see the isobars squeezing in and it will turn windy but the south—east

closer to the high pressure and here it will stay dry it with clear spells and we could see mist and fog developing across the south—east. further north and west, it turns wetter with the wind picking up, so a wet and windy night to come here. double figure values with the wet and windy weather and on the call side further south and east where we have the clear spells. into wednesday, the area of low pressure not moving east quickly because it's bumping into the high pressure, so slowly pushing east through the day and it will be pretty wet for much of scotland, northern ireland and rain getting into the far north—west of england but the majority of england and wales should stay dry through the day again. pretty windy for all areas and with a little bit of sunshine around and variable cloud, but a fairly mild day and between 12 and 14 degrees but because of the strength of the wind it might not feel that mild, and the low teens where we have the heavy rain. it spreads across the country during wednesday night on the ridge of high pressure bring settled conditions on thursday before the next frontal system arrives on friday to bring us a spell of wet
6:32 pm
and windy weather followed by sunshine and showers. thursday is actually dry and sunny and on the cooler side but it looks like being the sunniest day of the week before more wind and rain arrives, certainly early on friday. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. if you look at the top of the football, the african caribbean communities are overrepresented versus the south asian communities.

and the vietnamese grand prix is dropped from next year's formula i calendar, raising doubts it'll ever take place. also coming up in the programme. the horse helping to raise funds for rob and mnd. hello and welcome to sportsday. the fa chairman greg clarke has resigned for language he used when talking to mp‘s about diversity at a parlimentary hearing today. he'd been called to give evidence to the department for culture, media and sport select committee on the premier league's bailout to the english football league via videolink. a warning this clip contains language viewers may find offensive. if you look at top level football, the afro—caribbean communities are overrepresented versus the south asian communities. if you look at the it
6:35 pm
department of the fa, there's a lot more salvations than there are for afro—caribbeans they have different career interest. if i look at what happens to high—profile female footballers, high football coloured footballers and the abuse they take on social media. would you want to withdraw that language because isn't that exactly the sort of language that means that inclusion is not a reality? one, if i said it, i deeply apologise for it. secondly, i am a product of having worked overseas. i worked in the usa for many years where i was required to use the term people of colour because that was the product of the legislation and positive discrimination from that. sometimes i trip over my words. well a few hours later clarke resigned with immediate effect.
6:36 pm
bbc sport's senior reporter laura scott was across the hearing today. laura despite the apology that came soon after those comments from the fa and greg clarke, ultimately they've cost him his job following fierce criticsim. well, exactly. the criticism was widespread and almost immediate. who is facing condemnation but he was still answering questions from mps. and remember it was notjust one remark. he was what was described as a litany of attitudes andrew for the criticism for comments about people from south asia, gay players and female footballers. now among those
6:37 pm
to comment was the x premier league footballer anton ferdinand and he said education was needed at all levels. the former england striker darren bent said it was awful and then after the committee hearing finished committee member alex davies jones finished committee member alex daviesjones said that his remarks we re daviesjones said that his remarks were absolutely abhorrent and committee chairjulian knight said that this was not the first time the faa had come to grief over these issues. people will remember that greg clark in 2017 appearing before the same committee described accusations of institutional racism asa accusations of institutional racism as a fluff. and members of the board considered his role untenable. laura back with you in a moment. earlier i spoke with sanjay bhandari from the anti racsim group kick it their reaction. it is staggeringly archaic. the
6:38 pm
language to describe people of black and asian heritage is sort of from the 19705 and 805. it should be confined to the du5tbin of history where it belongs. and the other language as well it comes to something when that'5 language as well it comes to something when that's not the worst thing that he said. that the other thing5 thing that he said. that the other things are even worse from the thing5 things are even worse from the things he said about being gay being a choice, and about girl5 playing foot ball a choice, and about girl5 playing football and the things about south a5ian career choices. so on the whole pretty 5taggering 5et a5ian career choices. so on the whole pretty 5taggering set of comments. we heard from anton ferdinand there who said afterwards clearly education is needed at all levels. do you agree with him on that? it is needed at all levels but thi5 that? it is needed at all levels but this is the leader of our national game can we entitled to expect better. it is notju5t about
6:39 pm
education there. we want leadership from the person in that role that they should be completely on top of they should be completely on top of the way in which such idea5 they should be completely on top of the way in which such ideas are communicated and the issues and challenges facing society and trying to drive a more inclusive and diverse game. if it was one comment that was the slip of the tongue might be understandable. thi5 that was the slip of the tongue might be understandable. this is not one comment. this is for five comments, it'5 one comment. this is for five comments, it's a gri5ly compilation album of ignorant 5tereotype5. sol think that says that there's an underlying attitude, and that's the problem. education is not necessarily the generations that are coming through. we don't necessarily just have to educate our kids on the society of today, or what it can or cannot say. but also people in his position, people that have lived in different cultures and lived in different cultures and lived in different times to what we are living at the moment, that phrase
6:40 pm
may have been acceptable once upon a time, buti may have been acceptable once upon a time, but i think with what's going on in the world probably highlights this comments and probably highlights even more than i could commit even more than what they can, even more than players or staff can. that would still have got a long way to go. where does this leave the fa, greg clark was on the call today to discuss a possible financial bailout from the premier league to nfl clu bs, from the premier league to nfl clubs, and yet here they are looking for a new chairman now. exactly. there's so much turmoil within english football that toulouse lose one of those high—profile members of the game is hugely damaging for the fa as they take part in these negotiations over the future of the national game. and clearly the fa is pa rt national game. and clearly the fa is part of the strategic review that
6:41 pm
the premier league has launched, everything launched its own diversity code and clearly there's that gaping hole at the top greg clark was also highly influential at both fifa. and in the us is on the horizon and a final do to be played at wembley. for the fa is not having at wembley. for the fa is not having a chairat at wembley. for the fa is not having a chair at the moment is farfrom ideal. every three did mention his statement that he had been considering stepping down for some time or perhaps they were aware of that and started to put in place plans for when he did the part. he mentioned that the chief executive of the fa has established in his role in that will help them. given the manner and timing of his department where diversity is the top of the agenda of the fa will not wa nt to top of the agenda of the fa will not want to rush the decision to fill his position. they clearly need to get this right and appoint the right person who can navigate the next period of the game and with
6:42 pm
diversity right at the heart. let's not forget as well at the hearing today a very real warning given to efl clubs. it's been suggested that many will struggle to pay players wages this month. how much closer are we to that potential bailout coming from the premier league to those 72 clubs because you know there was some positive noises from both the premier league chief executive and the efl chair that might not be too long. negotiations have been going on for months but they gave indications that we might get a solution by the end of this month. the chair of the committee said that his understanding was that ten efl clubs could struggle to make the payroll this month. and clearly the payroll this month. and clearly the offer on the table at the moment is far lower than the efl one dead, they said that they had needed 250,000,002 stem the losses from gate receipts and that's not anywhere near what they are likely
6:43 pm
to get. the offer on the table at the moment is about £50 million made up the moment is about £50 million made up of grants and loans in a separate offer to championship clubs. that chief executive of the premier league said there's a limit to what they can offer. the premier league i5 they can offer. the premier league is engaged but the canopy eight bank check or underwriting of losses. we believe out underwriting of losses. we believe our proposal is appropriate and go to the heart of the problem and con5i5tent to the heart of the problem and consistent with government policy. we are huge 5upporter5 consistent with government policy. we are huge supporters of the pyramid and understand the importance. the pure leak5 5it5 pyramid and understand the importance. the pure leak5 sits on top of that we were at the pyramid top of that we were at the pyramid to remain strong and if we can get through this next period which i fundamentally believe we can we do need to come to an agreement of how that can best be done. we believe we are stepping up and are looking after the pyramid of football and we are yet to reach an agreement but i'm confident we are working with rick and we can do that. also topics about paper view and he said that
6:44 pm
they have listened to feedback from fa ns they have listened to feedback from fans and we know that approve highly controversial on both cost and health grounds, and they are moving away from paper view going forward. then i give any details of exactly how they will play the deal going forwards. project big picture also came up and he said that change is coming. with regards the structure of english football but clearly project big picture and another thing that caused a lot of controversy recently. the days events have been overshadowed by what is happened with greg clarke prospect departure in that time of turbulence within the game that's only heightened off the back of his departure. and there is increasing questions over the governance of the game right at the very top. the outcome today nor could have predicted. many thanks indeed for that. the remarkable rise for 17—year—old jude bellingham.
6:45 pm
